IDVSPEPSIA PILL.
WHAT' IS DYSPEPSIA P
DYSPEPSIA HAS THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS
ISt. A constant - pain or uneasiness at the pit of the
Btomach; whicikts caused by apertnanent contraction of
the stomach upon undigested food. It generally begins
'mmediately or, a short time after eating; is often very
severe and obstinate.
-
~.ad. Flatulence, ancf.daidity.—These symptoms arise
- from the iridisestion of food, which ferments instead, of
digesting.
Bd. Castflyetese and load of appetite.-These symptoms
are the effects of the unnatural aftlidition of food in the
stomach. and the Want of imiefille and gastric juice.
- The stomach is often painfully distended by wind; the
,SiPpelite la sometimes voracious.
4th. ;Gloom and Depression - of Spirtts —This state
• unfits many for the enjoyment of life. and is caused by
the impure blood furnished by imperfect digestion. In
this stage of the disease many parsons commit suicide.
- There 4,,.; a constant foreboding of evil, and an indiffa
ience and positive inability to perform the offices of life.
6th. , Diar - rhoca.—After being fast costive, the sufferer
.16 afflicted with dlarrlicea, which is owing co a diseased
condition of the abowele, produced by .the .uudigestal
:food. %think is eiacuated tin the same condition as when
eaten, and of course gives no strength to the system.
6th. Pains in all , Parts Of the system arise from the
:action of impure blood upon the nerves. 'They are felt
!chiefly in, the head, aides. and breast, and in the extra
.zultkca. In many cases there is an rineasineei in the
ihront.witb a sense of choking or waff.,cation; themouth
is often clammy, with a-bad taste and furred tongue.
7th. Concurapti r im atimPtonia and Palndatka/ of the
Wend. —Many persons pronounced as hating these dis
r ases, have, .infact,' nothing but Dyspepsia, the lung
•And heart disease being only symptoms.
Sth. Cough.—This is a very frequeal symptom of Dye
48spela,anil leads very often into confirmed' consumption.
9th. Want of Sleep.=A very distressing symptom. re-
Writing often in mental derangement.
z 10th. "SymptoriaB of external relation — The patient is
„affected painfully by cold. and beat, which is owing to
unnatural dryness of the skin, and the skin is often af
fected'by 'eruptions end totters. The gloomy dyspeptic
avoiAs welety as much as possible.
.11th. :1 7 ccrafting. —A frequent and distressing symptom.
It relieves the pain, bat emaciates and wears out the
patient. _
12th. _Da:tines& dimness of vision, headache, and
Staggering in walking. —These are very alarming symp
toms. which.are speedily removed by our medicine: but
11 negftotea are quickly followed by numbness and sud
den death. •
13th.—It is impossible for us to give all the symptoms
'of Dyspepsia in so small a epee*); but the above are con•
eidered eufficieni—if we add that the patient loses his
gnemory and attention-tosurroanding objects, and Ire.
Quently heroines - morose and sour in disposition. We
should say. - however, that pains in the joints and stiff
ness of the limbs, which go by the name of rheumatism
and neuralgia, are very often produced by Dyspepsia.
Also. a hardness of the muscles of the abdomen. which
Jiecome clracted and hard ; and inaome cases the belly
links, ins ad of being gently prominent.
DYSPEPSIA I DYSPEPSIA 11 DYSPEPSIA !!!
I, ELIZABETH DRAM3OI7, of Brandywine, Del., for
merly oruld,Shester. Del,, do cetify that for one year
and a half I suffered everything but death from that
awful disease called - Dyspepsia. My whole system was
prostrated with weakness and nervous debility; I could
not - digest my food ; if I ate even a cracker, or the small
est amount of food, it would return - just as I swallowed
it; I became so costive in my bowels that I would not
Lave a peerage In lees than from lour. awl often eight
days; under this immense suffering my mind seemed en
direly to give way. I had dreadful horror and evillore
bidings I thought everybody hated mei, and I hated
everybody; I could not bear my husband nor my own
children; everything appeared to be horror stricken to
me; I had no ambition to do any thing; I lost all my
of faintly and home; I would ramble and wander
ftom place to place,
hut could not be contented. 1 felt
that I was doomed to hell, and that there was no heaven
f o rme, and was often tempted to commit suicide, so
near was my whole nervonsaytem destroyed, and also
my mind, from that awful complaint, Dyspepsia, that
my friends thought it best to have me placed in Dr.
Hirkbride's Hospital, at Wes t.Philademhia. I remained
there nine weeks, and thought I was a little better, but
in a few days my dreadful complaint was raging as bad
as ever. Hearing of the wonderhil cares performed by
Dr. Whhart's 0 reat'American Dyspepsia Pills and his
treatment for Dyspepsia, my husband called on Dr.
7ipichart and stated my case to him. He said he had no
'doubt he could cure ma
'-loan three days after I called and placed myself..under
the Doctor's treatment, and In .two weeks I began to di
gest- my food, and felt that my disease was fast giving
way, and I continued to recover for about three menthe,
and at the present time I enjoy perfect health of body
and mine. and 1 most siugerely return my thatike to a
merciful God and Dr. Wtsnart, and to his great Ameri
can-.Dyspepsia.Pills and. Pine Tree Tar Cordial, that
saved me from an insane asylnin and a premature grave.
All persona suffering with Dyspepsia are at liberty to
*all on me or write, ati - I am willing to do all the good. I
can for suffering humanity.

DYSPEPSIA DYSPEPSIAI
DR. WISirART: I have been a constant sufferer with
Dyspepsia for the last eighteen years, during whicn
time I cannot say that I ever enjoy ed-st perfectly well
day. There were times when the symptoms were more
aggravated than at others, and then it seemed it would
be a great relief to die. I had-at all times an unpleasant
feeling at my head, but latterly my sufferings so much
Increased that I became almost unlit for business of. any
kind. My- mind was constantly flied with gloomy
thoughts and forebodings, and if I attempted to change
their current by reading, at once a sensation of icy edict
; nese, in connection with a dead weight, as it were,
'tested upon my brain ; also a feeding of sickness would
occur at the stomach, and great pain to my eyes, accom
panied with wlfth was the continued fear of losing my
Reason. .
also experienced great lassitude,debility,and nervons
nese, which made it difficult to walk by day or sleep at
night. I became averse to society, and dispos3d only to
__seclusion, and having tried the skill of a nambar of emi i
vent physicians of various schools, dually came to thd
. conclusion that, for this disease, at my present- age, 45
. years. there was no cure• in existence. But, through
the interference of Divine Providence, to whom I de
voutly offer my thanks, I at last found a sovereign
yemedy in your Dyspepsia Pills and Tar Cordial, which
seem to have effectually removed almost- the last trace
of my lona list of ailments and bad feeli ags, and in their
place t ealtk, pleasure, and contentment are my everY
day companions. ' JAMES 111. Sdift9DEß4: - -

DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA!
I, Mons Ton's. of Cheltenham, Montgomery county.
Pa. have suffered for more than one year everything
but each itself. from that awful disease, called Dyspep
sia. I employed in that time five or the most eminent
physicians in Philadelphia, They did ail they could
for me. with medicines and capping. but still I was no
better. I then went to the Pennsylvania University, in
order to place myself in reach of the bast medical. talents
in the country. lent their medicines tailed to do me any
good, and of Dimes I wished for dealt to relieve me of
my aufleringe, out seeing Dr. Wishart's advertisement
in the Puiladelphia Bulletin, I determined to try once
More but with little faith. I called on Dr. Wishart, and
told him if I could have died I would not have troubled
, him, and then related my eniferinge to him. The
Dr. assured me if he failed to cure me of Dyspop
' ale, if would be the first , case in two years. so I pal
myself under his treatment; and although I had been
for months vomiting nearly everything I ate, my
stomach swollen with wind, and filled with pain be
- yond description, I bought a box or his Dyspepsia
Fills, I used them as directed, and in ten days I could
oat.aa hearty a meal as any person in the State of Penn
and in thirty daye waa a well man I invite
any person suffering as I was to call and see ins, and I
relatewill my Buffering ,and the great cure I received.
I would say to all Dyspeptics, everywhere, that Dr.
Wishart if, I believe. the only person on the earth that
san core Dyspepsia with any degree of certainty.

WiaITART —Sir : It is with much pleasure that lam
mow able to inform yen that, by the nee of your great
American Dyspepsia Pills, I have been entirely cured of
that mm t distressing complaint, Dyspepsia a had been
for
afflicted for the last twenty-eight years, and
for ten years of - that time have not been free flora its, pain
one week at a time. 1 have had it in its wend form, and
bavo druired on a most miserable existence—in pain day
and night. Every, kind of food that I ate filled me with
wind and pain,it mattered not howlightior how small the
quantity ; a continued belchingwas sure to follow. I had
mei appetite for any kind of meats whatever, and
; .my distress was so great for several months before
1 heard of y our Pills, that I frequently wished for death.
4-i i had taken everything that I had heard of for Dyspepsia,
ithout receiving - any benefit; but on-your Pills being
iiecomn; ended to me by one who had been cured by
hem. I concluded to give them a trial although .I-had
o faith in them. -To lay astonishment, I--found.myself
getting better before I had taken omfourth of a box,
end after taking half a box, I am a Well man, and can
eat anything Judah, and enjoy a hearty meal three times
a day, without inconvenience from anything I eat or
drink: -If you think proper, you are at liberty to make
this public and refer to me. I will cheerfully give all
desirable information to any one w'.o may call on me.
Youle. respectfully, JO EN' H. BA.BCOCK.

Alistres, and with constant belching of wind and sour
.acid. Yr tongue was covered with a white coating of
..mucus until it cracked in large furrows, and was dread-
In;ly sore. Oh! I oftimes wished for death to relieve
:me of my sufferings I for I. had lost all hope of ever
— being well again made it a subject of prayer to
(Jod.,tits t he would direct me to some physician
.or medicine that would cure me. I was bold to

phia. by the great American Dyspepsia Fills. 1 went to
'the Doctor's ,Ofllce, and placed myself under his treat

In the year. 1846, the writer, of this, article embarked in
the drug business in the city of Philadelphia, where he
hait lieen engaged now over sixteen years in the mann
.
facture of pharmaceutical preparations of various de
scriptions. But for the last ten years most of his time
has been employed in the manufacture of the various
solid and fluid extracts. -
. .
Most prominent among those to which he desired to
call the particular attention of the facultY, draggiets,
and the public, are the BighlyConcentrated Fluid Ex
traet Machu, and Highly Concentrated Fluid Extract
Sarsaparilla. _
Both of these are prepared on purely scientific princi
ples (in. vacno,) and embody the full strength of the va
rious ingredients entering into their composition. These
medicines require considerable care in the preparation,
and the entiployment of different menstrna in successive
operations to take up the extract matters, and in conse
quence are .most frequently improperly made, and not
unfreqiently much impaired, if not rendered totally
inert, by the injudicious and unskilful mane gement of
those acquainted with pharmaceutical preparations.
My extract Buchu, upon inspection, will be found to
be of the odor, color, and taste of the plant of that name,
and not a dark, glutinous preparation A ready and
.conclusive test willbe a comparision of its properties with
those set forth in the United States Dispensatory.
The Extract Sarsaparilla Is far superior to any prepa
ration that has ever come to my notice asablood purify- -
- big agent. tablespoonful of the Extract Sarsaparilla
added to a pint of water is fully, equal to the celebrated
Lisbon Diet Drink, so ranch used by enfeebled and deli
cute constitutions of both sexes and all ages;
One bottle ie fully equal in strength to one gallon of
the syrup or 'decoction ati' usually made, and hundreds
of druggists thronghont the country have adopsed it in
making tneir syrups of this name ,
I desire,in this connection, to make a plain statement of
facts, being 'prompted to do so— '
' First—By a consideration of the welfare of suffering
humanity.
Second—Because I do NC wish my articles classified as
nostrums or patent medicines, many of which are made
by persons too ignorant to read a physician's simplest
preacription, much less to manufacture pharmaieutical
weparatione. .
These persona advertise. This lam compelled to do.
to bring my name before the public, c mscientiously be
lieving that I have the moat valuable articles that were
ever advertised. They, have been advertised over ten
years, commencing, in a small way, and have not only
sustained their reputation, but their popularity has ex
tended to all parts of the United States, -and widely
thronghont foreign countries. .
As belore remarked, I, in common with the manufac
turerers of patent' medicines, advertise my medicines.
But how shortlived have been the thousands of these
articles. And yet there are many persons who will con
tinue to-think that merit in the article is not essential to
67.1 t CESE.
iy course, in many particulars, has beenquite differ
ent from that of any others. With over 30,000 nnsolicit
ad cettiiicates and recommendatory letters from all sec:
tione. many of which are from tne highest sources. in
einding eminent physicians, clergymen, statesmen, &c:
I have not been in the habit of resorting to their pnbli
cation in the newspapers, Ido not do this for the reason
that, as my articles Tank as standard remedies; they do
not need to be Propped up by certificates. I may, how
ever, 'without .too much deviation from my Plan, Pre- .
sent fere a specimen—one selected by chance from the
great number at hand. Bead the following certificate of
a cure of over twenty years' standing:
LEIVISTO.N. Pa., Jan. 14, 1857
H. T. RELMBOLD
Duda SIR :.1 have been troubled 'with an affection of
the Bladder and Kidneys for aver twenty years. I bad
tried physicians in vain, and at last concluded to give
yew' genuine Preparation a trial. as -I had heard it so,
highly spoken of. I have used three bottles, and have
obtained more relief from its effects, and feel much bet
ter than I have for twenty years previous. •
I nave the greatest faith in its virtues and curative
Powers, and shall do all in my power to make it known
to the afflicted. Hoping this may prove advantageous to
you in assisting you to introduce the 'Medicine. I am
truly yours, bf. McOOKKIUK.
LEWISTON, Pa., August 2S, 1857.
H. T. HELM - BOLD, EEL
I am hoppy to inform you that after the use of your
Medicine a cure has been effected; and I cand,dly believe
I should have been in my grave had it not been for it.
Your obedient servant. M . : C. MoCORMECK.
This gentleman offers the following references attest
ing the facts of this case :
Hon. WK. BIGLER. Ex Governor Pa.
Hon. THOS B F WHENCE, Philadelphia.
Hon. I. C. KNOX. Attorney General, Harrisburg, Pa.
- Hon. J. S. BLACK, 11. S. Attorney General, Washing
ton .. •
Hon. D. l PORTER, 'Ex-Governor Pa.
Hon. R C.• GRIER, - rudsre IT. 8. 'Court
Hon. JOHN %GLIM, Ex• Governor California. •
Of the whole number treated, as shown by our certift
cates,B, 720 were treated for diseases of the Bladder, Kid
neys, Gravel, and Dropsical Swellings. The average
amount of medicine consumed, as. per certificates, was
seven bottles; the average term of suffering one year and
one month. Of this number, 380 were females, 227 chil
dren, and the balance males. .
30 121 were treated for diseases dieing from excesses ,
Habits of dissipation youthful imprudence,attended with
various symptoms, among which will be found indispo
sition to exertion, weak nerves, dimness of vision, night
sweats, pallid countenance, great mobility, restlessness,
horror of society, no earnestness of manner. These
symptoms, if allowed to continue, would undoubtedly
result in epileptic fits, insanity or consumption. Bow
many thousands of the young have died of theie causes.
Visit our almshouses, hospitals, and prisons, and see the
misery they produce, Out of these 10,121, there were
6,021 males, 3,750 females. The sex of the remaining
number was not stated in letters. The average term of
suffering was 434' years; average age 24 years; average
amount of medicine consumed 1034 bottles. In respect to
ailments peculiar to women in decline or change of life,
this will be found invaluable. No family should be with
out it.
7,200 were treated for Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Scald Head,
Ulceration of the Throat and Legs, Pains and Swellings
of the. Bones, Tetter, Pimples on the fate, and all scaly
eruptions Of the skin.
8,971 were treated for diseases of the blood arising from
habits of dissipation. Of this number 2,247 were treated
for syphilis,944 for humors of the blood, 1,333 for diseases
of a secret' nature, in all their stages. In this class of
complaints patients do not readily volunteer certificates,
which accounts for the small number received. Of this
number 4,219 were males and 2,200 were females ; ave
rage age 26 years and 3 months; average term of • suffer
ing 3 months; average amount consumed 9 bottles.
The above statistics are taken from a diary kept ex
pressly for the purpose, and with great care.
The proprietor, in making . this statement, lures that
his motive may be appreciated. A feeling that entire
candor is due to all has prompted him to do so. I am
well aware that many persona consider five or ten dol
lars expended in any kind of medicine for the benefit of
their health a waste of money; and yet these same' per
sons will expend hundreds of dollars in dress and disel -
Patton, and think nothing of it Such forget
That good health
Is trim wealth.
Let us look at this matter for a moment. There are as
tringents. purgatives, narcotics, poisons, diuretics, blood
purifiers, &c. There is no contradicting the following
facts
A poison for one is a poison for all.
A nal colic for one is a narcotic for all.
A diuretic for one is a diuretic for all.
A-purgative for one Is a purgative for all.
A blood purifier for one is a blood purifier for all.
With this difference only, that some constitutions require
more than others.
The Extract Sarsaparilla will answer in all cases and
will accomplish as much as- any other purifier. I will
gladly pay $5,000 for a better article.
My Extract Buchu is a Diuretic, and - will act as such,
accomplishing as much as any other. I will gladly pay
$5,000 for a better article. Both are vegetable prepare,.
tione, pleasant in taste and odor, and safe, and are taken
by men, women, and children. Explicit directions ac
ccmpany_the medicine.
To the suffering I would say, in conclusion, that I have
lad much to contend with, the objects being chiefly of
this description. The expense of prenaring my articles
is such that I could not afford to commission them as pa
tent medicine manufacturers do, but have been compell,
ed to sell for cash.
Consequently .I have lost much by unprincipled deal
ers endeavoring to dispose of their own or other articles
on the reputation of mine. the merit of my preparations
has, however, quietly pushed them into favor: bat yon
still need to exercise care to obtain my true preparations.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER,
(En route from Cairo to IVlemphia,)
October 30, 1663.
,4 The Father of Waters goes undefiecl to the sea: ,
On special days this is the case, but it ie not so con
tinually. The guerillas are at work, noiv at one
place, and now at another. A few days ago a
steamer was captured a short distance above. He
lena, while lying to at the shore for some alight re
pairs to her machinery. The passengers and crew
were robbed and left on the bank, while the boat
was set on fire. The robbers generously gave the
crew fifty dollars with which to pay their passage
to }plena or Memphis. One passenger lost no' less
than thirty thousand dollars, the proceeds of a pro-.
fitable speculation in cotton. The guerillas told
him his money would serve them a good purpose in
purchasing supplies in Memphis. Gold watehei and
minor valuables did not come - amiss while they
were making their search for plunder.
Last night:the steamer Crescent City, on her way
to Cairo, made a landing near Island No. 21 for the
purpose of procuring wood. The mate and seven
colored deck-hands went on shore to make fast the
head-line. While they were doing so, a party of
guerillas opened fire upon the boat, putting no fewer
than ten bullets through a single sash of the pilot
house window. The pilot immediately commenced
pushing off the- boat, and did it so hastily`that
left the mate and the seven deck-hands on shore.'
Captain Dan Able, the owner of the steamer and
cargo, who was on shore at the time, ran for the boat
the instant the firing commenced. Re succeeded in
grasping the guards and pulling himself on board
just as she was leaving the bank. Whatbecame of
'the mate and negroes is not known.
The. Crescent City was laden with eleven
dred bales of cotton, which she had taken onboard
at the mouth of White river. At the time of making
the landing she was nearly out -.of fuel, and .thare
was no other wood.yard for a long distance up the
stream. The captain gave orders for cutting• away
the guards and stanchions to be used as fuel _until
some other boat was met or a wood-yard was reach
ed. About four o'clock this morning, the boat on
which your correspondent is travelling was met - by
the Crescent City. The latter had burned up a con
siderable portion of her woodwork, and presented
the appearance of having been 'roughly handled.
Capt. Able said he should have reduced her to hull
and engines before stopping, if he had met no other
boat.
It is probable that this band has been for some
time prowling along the river banks waiting for an
opportunity to ,capture some Steamboat. The
Crescent City would have been . of little importance
to them, as there were no passengers and but little
money onboard. The cargo had been purchased by
Captain Able, and wan on its way to St. Louis. It
is worth in the market nearly four hundred thousand
dollars, and is one of those lots the guerillas are
especially anxious to get hold of and destroy. To
land at any point on the river is attended with con
siderable danger. Moat of the boats refuse to put
out a line, preferring to keep in position by working
their engines slowly. •
New regulations in regard to the cotton trade,
are just going into operation, but it le difficult to
•-guess how long they will continue. Any, person
that chooses to do so can go into the traffic, on tak
ing oath tkat he is loyal to the Government of the
United States, and giving bond not to do anything
in violation of the 'regulations. So many additions
have been made to the trade regulations that it is
difficult to keep track of thein.- If published in a
separate volume they would make a book of re
spectable size. Nobody appears to understand
them clearly, except the revenue agents, and they
sometimes make conflicting interpretations. Some
of the restrictions upon imports have been re
moved, while others still continue. -
It does not appear to be the policy of the Govern.;
went to open the - river to unrestricted trade. Last
year trade was very free to Memphis, and the will
effects of the policy were most palpably manifest.
Boats from above brought down large quantities of
'supplies that seemed more designed for araroWin
the -field than for the inhabitants of " - a peaceful city
like Memphis.. Heavy boots and gray cloth were
moat in demand ; enough of these articles tieing
brought down to give every man in the city a liinf.;
•
dyed pairs of the former, and fifty suits of the latter:
Smuggling was carried on, in the moat barefaced
Manner„Ausd_the_commander at_that._ time, Gen.
Sherman, appeared ignorant of the fact. His
orders to the pickets left it to their discre
tion whether to stop loads of goods or. permit
them to proceed. Of course, in most instances the
pickets could see nothing wrong, and it Was current
ly reported that wagons came repeatedly fro& Van
Dorn , s army to Memphis, and, after taking in their
loads, returned direct to the place whence they set
out. Several months passed in this way, until the
rebels had become pretty well shod and clothed.
Some discoveries were then made that induced the
' authorities to shut down upon the further unlimited
traffic between Memphis and the North. Strong
efforts have since been made to open icbut they
have only partially succeeded. General Grant is
opposed to all resumption of traffic until the MI&
siseippi valley is conquered and fairly in our control.
CORNIOES,
A sharp passage.at-arms has been going on for
some time on this subject between some of the St.
Louis politicians. Maj. Gen. Blair favors the re
opening of trade, and has made several speeches and
written numerous letters in its interest. He visited
Washington a short time since, and labored hard to
accomplish that object. In St. Louis he made a
speech, in which he reflected somewhat severely
upon Mr. Chase and,his regulations. He was-re
'plied to by Mr. Blow, of St. Louis, but not on the
same occasion. Since then the papers of that city
have been teeming with articles on both sides, in
which neither party appears to obtain much advan
tage. They will probably keep up the struggle
until some decision is permanently made.
Military matters in the Southwest have lately
put on a new phase. From the soiithwestern por
tion of the Department of the Missouri, we learn
that Cooper has again made his appearance on the
Arkansas river, and is threatening Forts Smith and
Blunt. It was thought when Cooper and Steele were
drivenlsouth to the Red river that they would not
return, but it seems they would not stay away. /t
is reported that Cooper brings with him an arrnY'of
nine thousand men, consisting of his former array
and several regiments that he has received from
Price. It is quite possiblethat General Prioe has
sent reinforcements to Cooper sufficient to allow
him to take the offensive. In 'my letter last week
I mentioned that Price had left Arkadelphia, and
moved off to the westward.' 'When the news was
first brought from Arkansas it was supposed he had
gone to Texas to the relief of Magruder, as that
officer was said to be preparing for some offensive
operation to cheek the advance of General Banks.
It would not be surprising if he went to join Cooper,
instead of attaching himielf to. Magruder. If he
has really done so, it will enable Cooper to assail
Fort Smith, and possibly compel its evacuation.
In , West Tennessee there have been several 'kir
minims between the rebels and the advance of our
troops moving to the eastward along the line of the
Memphis and Charleston Railway. Most of them
are small affairs when they come to be clouely'ex,
amined, and prove to have been greatly exaggerated
by the officers that took part in them. The skirmish
at Collierville was magnified - into the importance of
a battle by the friends of a general officer who
present, and who his thus far had =the reputation of
suffering defeat- on nearly every 'occasion. Since
those light' transpired information has beenreceived
to the effect that Johnston has detached a large part
of his army to aid in repelling our advance. The
troops' encountered by our forces were portions or
the various regiments of rebel cavalry that have
been at work through northern - Miesizeippi and Ala_
barna. It is reported that some of the infantry from
Johnston's army is holding strong works at Tannin.
bia, and will make serious resistance.
The troops at Vicksburg have been exercising
themselves by a marehinto the interior of the State,
for the purpose of diverting the attention of Joe
Johnston. They did not ,go out for the purpose of
getting a. battle, but merely to keep the rebels busy.
They had'ktio or three slight skirmishee, and on one
occasion anted an artillery duel, which hated more
than an hour. They accomplished their purpose,
tvhich was io prevent Johnston sending troops to
Tuscumbia, at that time: They brought Walk some
twenty 'or 'thirty prisoners, after having made, a
March of one hundred and twenty miles, in six days.
The weather is much more favorable for movements
of troops than it was in the summer season, at the
time Gen. Grant made his march from. Port Gibson
to the rear of Vicksburg. .
The work of recruiting for the colored regiments is
being pushed with rapidity. When it first cam.*
menced the negroes were allowed to decide whether
they would go into the army or remain in idleness
in the camps. Very naturally 'they adopted the
latter course, and it was' finally decided to put,
them in the ranks ?to/ens volop. All the able.bodied
contrabands at the military posts, except those em
ployed in the quartermaster's department, have
been put in the rank and file of the army. The con
sequence is, that the army is rapidly filling up, and
will continue to, do so m as fast as , tha. contrabands;
come. The women and ohildren are employed on,
the plantations that the Government has taken in
charge., We are thus 'materially reducing -the pro:,
portions of the gigantic elephantthatwe had drawn,
a twelve months ago. "-What shall we do with it
has Met half its horrors. We are now making the
negro serviceable.
Captain Osband recently started from Vicksburg,
in the direction of Yazoo City in the hope of gattr;,
ering recruits for his colored regiment. Ile took
with him a company of colored cavalry and one' .
company of white cavalry. The rebels heard of his
coming, and tent out a hundred mounted men to op 7
pore him. Captain Csband engaged and defeated
them, taking sixteen prisoners in theekirmish. Pdeost
of the prisoners were captured in a charge by the
negroee. No recruits were obtained, as the rebels
were encountered before Captain .oaband reached
the region where-he-designed to operate;

been determined to open it .from Columbus to Co•
rinth and Grand :function, and also to put the tele•
graph in operation from Cairo to Memphis. Work
has been commenced on the road, and itis thought
that it will be completed within forty days. The
track has not been seriously disturbed, but the ma
jority of the bridges and trestles have been burned
by the rebels. The opening of the road is more for
the benefit of the, people than for any military ad
vanlagee. Unless they keep it clear of guerillas it
will not be operated.
The rise of. the.Oumberland and Tenneeseedvers
will effect a material change in
.., the military situa
tion in Tennesiee and georgia. Heavy rains have
swollen those streams, so that our gunboats, and
transports can Inland with ease. With the excep
tion of twenty miles between Tuscumbla and De

size can ascend the Cumberland to Nashville. The

The following letter was received in-this city yes

of the Commission at the xaval School Hospital
and Camp Parole, Annapolis; Maryland:
!':1 NAVAL SCHOOL . HOSPITAL,
AiIIiAPOLIB, November 4, 1863,
linv. W. E. 'BOARDMAN : My Dear. Sir—l cannot
describe to you - the condition of our men who came
in last Thuziday from Richmond. Forty have passed
away already out of the one hundred and eighty.
Every day we.have about six to carry to the grave.
lifter the funeral service yesterday in the chapel, I .
went to the dead-house and found seven still there,
and several-died last night. .
I have gone' o the grave, and seen the last rites of
respect paid to hundreds of our hrave soldiers wh6
have fallen in this war, but never with as sad and
painful feelings as inthe' case of these starved and
inhumanly-treated men. It makes one blush for our
common humanity. We remember Gettysburg, and
the thousands who fell into our hands of the enemy ;
but bow kindly and tenderly were they treated !
We look for a majority - of these men to die. They
represent the..sufferings of all those who are in
Richmond as prisoners as beyond description. The
" Libby" and "Belle Isle" will live in history as
names indicative of the heartless and. unfeeling
treatment practised upon.our men by the boasted
chivalry of the South.-
I am busy .every moment with the suffering here.
Send me a good supply of sheets, towels, handker

,f.ciiits, wines, and brandies.
. Truly you

Our brave men suffer everything but death in the
hands of the rebels,'!ind "'many suffer 'death itself.
Those who live to come again under, the Stars and

relief we can give them: Ait-effort should be 'made
ty our citizens at once 'to raise 'Money to send such
articles as will relieve the necessities of these brave
men. - They came from Richmond, many of them,
shoeless and hatless. The Christian Commission
has already supplied them with shoes, and has also
sent the articles called for by'Mr. Sloan. Timely
aid may gave the lives of many of these unfortunate
men. Similardemands. are made upon the Commis

The Families of Destitute Soldiers.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sin : Observing an article in The Press of the 4th
instant, in relation to the formation of a society for
aiding the families of destitute soldiers, allow me to
express my pleasure at the promised movement, and
my hope that it will be liberally sustained and be
successful in its benevolent object. I know the
value of such association, having been a member of
one, which has been in active operation for two
years, and which has been the means of extending
needed relief. The Transit Aid Association was
originally established to give aid to soldiers in their
transit to the hospitals from vessels and railroad
cars, and, as their means increased, they'extended
their usefulness to aiding soldiers in the field, or at
a distance from the city. -As their assistance in
these directions became less needed, they then turned
their attention to, the aid of families of destitute
soldiers, and have now been engaged in this manner
for some inonthe, as far as their limited means per
linowing, therefore, from experience, how
much aid is really needed by families of deeerving
!soldiers, even in spite of the liberality of our Govern
ment, I hope that not only one, but many such air
sociations will be formed.
Reapatfully,

primmer toward evening, during a charge made by
his regiment, and carried by a circuitous route to
Richmond, passing so near to Charleston that he

prisons at Richmond crowded with prisoners, dying
daily for want of food. But one ration a day was
served, consisting of a small piece of bacon and se
hard, unpalatable cracker, made of North Corolla&

through a long passage, dropped through a hatch

escape into the streets of Richmond. By carrying,
their blouses on their arms, and removing the num. , '

through the city, and hid themselves in the woods.

FIERNANDO WOOD'S OPINION OF THE RECENT
ELMOTION.—At the meeting of the Mozart Commit-.
tee in New York, Mr. Wood offered the following
resolutions, which were adopted by- the Copper.
headeracy
.
Resolved, That although the result of the election
in this State is to be deplored as, further strengthen
ing the corrupt and imbecile men - in power, it is,
nevertheless,
no defeat 'of Democratic •principles.
Democratic principles were 'not at issue. Demo
cratic principles recognize no power in the Federal
Government to'ignore the political righti of States,
to exercise 'despotic tyranny over individuals, or to
continue this war,, when the questions' about which
we fight are susceptible of peaceful solution. These
great questions were not. presented for proper de ,
termination, and"consequently the people of this
State have not passed upon-them.
Resolved; That we are rejoiced at the rebuke which
has been administered in-this city to the sore-head

RIOTS AMONG THE Il i aliEES.—There was
much excitement among the coal deniers and others
in this city yesterday in consequence of rumors,
more or less startling, respecting a miners' riot in
the vicinity of Mauch Chunk. A despatch was re
ceived, about noon, dated from Summit Station,
stating that Mr. Geo. K. Smith, of the firm of Hull,
Corlies, & Co., bad been shot dead, and' Mr. Ulriok,
storekeeper of the firm's mines, seriously wounded.
The despatch was unaccompanied by further par
tioulars, except a request that some one from the
office should be sent to the Beene of the disaster.
We made inquiry at the office of other railroad and
coal companies, but nothing definite as to the charac
ter of the riot could be obtained. The telegraphic
wires between Mauch Chunk and Easton had been
destroyed; so that no intelligence by that route could
be obtained. It is known,' however, that for about
two weeks past there have been three or four mili
tary companies about Yorktown, which is the loca
tion of the mince of Messrs. Hull, Corlies, & Co.,
who have been assisting the provoet marshal in the
enforcement of"the draft and arrest of deserters.
Last week a seizure of- arms had been made
in many of the dwellings of the miners, and ar
rests made where they were deemed necessary for
maintaining the public pease. The miners had
associated together- under the name of " The Buck.
shots," and were fully prepared to resist the en
forcement of the draft. The present 'riot is not in
the nature of a "strike," as others in that region
generally have been, but essentially a disloyal out•
break, similar in its character to the riots which dis
graced Wew York city in July last. The demon
stration is said to have commenced at the Spiing
Mountain Mines near Jeansville, and bad extended
manymiles around. It is reported that the rioters
had killed live men, and it is hoped that by this
time a sufficient military force has arrived and
quelled the, mob, Governor Curtin was promptly
informed. of the matter, and will, no doubt, as
promptly respond. This riot will undoubtedly be
seized upon as a new excuse for a further advance
in the price of coal. It will have a bearing on the
value of coal stocks, and the brokers will use it to
advantage, and many, will again congratulate them
selves that it iian ill wind which blows no one good.
A SURPRISE , PARTY OURPRISED.-0/1
Thursday night, between eleven and twelve &clack,
a surprise party from the southern "section of the
city, entered a car at Fairmount for the purpose of
returning home. The party consisted of eighteen
females, and as many males. Of course, the car
was crowded ; and a more joyful party never assem
bled 'for a little gay sport. There was seated in the
corner of the vehicle a man wearing a slouch felt
hat, drawn down partly over his face. lie appeared
as though asleep.:
in Various pleasantries were in
dulged by the Joyful party, as the car moved
homeward. Presently the horses stumbled, and the
wheels bounced over a turnout: "Oh my! Pm
killed," came a voice as from beneath the car.
"There's somebody run over," exclaimed several
of the young ladies.
"It's Charlie," said another, "I know his voice."
"Oh ray legs, how can I walk V
The car was speedily partly emptied, and a search
was made under and around the wheels and hind
platform. But no crushed individual could be
found. No one could divine the reason. All felt sure
that somebody was crushed, but_ upon assuring
themselves that nothing of the kind had occurred,
reentered, and the car passed on.
Among the party was a very pretty young lady,
Who seemed to be lost in thought, Presently she
gave a loud snore. •
" Wake up, Maggie, wake up," said the one sitting
next to her, as she gave her a nudge.
"I'm not asleep I'm only tired ," she replied.
Then came another snore; again another nudge.
The subject was the cause of much merriment at the
expense of Maggie, who " vowed and declared"
that she was never more wide awake in her life. .
A canary bird now chirped in different parts of
the car, and the railroad time-keeper ticked much
louder than before. A sort of awful pause came
over the whole party as though by enchantment.
Everybody thought there was something queer, but
nobody could tell the reason.
One young lady said, "Oh, quit that; why don't
you behave yourself?.
Anothersaid, " Well I didn't enjoy myself at all."
"Oh, Jennie, how could you say so," replied an
other. '
Thus the time passed away, until at last the
strange man above alluded to attempted to get out
of the car. As he was elbowing his way the light
shone full in his face, and thus were revealed the
familiar features of Signor Blitz, whom everybody
knows, or ought to know, in this community. The
Signor, however, found himself in a tight place, for
the young ladies would not readily let him out, until
he reached the southern terminus of the route. - - But
he had quite a happy time, and was so well pleased
that he invited the party to come and see him at the
Assembly Building.
RAILROAD DEPOT BLow - et Doww.—The
" white squall" which came up so suddenly yester
day afternoon, about two o'clock, besides doing
other damage, which we have noticed elsewhere,
blew- down the temporary railroad depot erected
four or five months since by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company at the junction of Thirty.first and
-Briege streets, West Philadelphia. The building,
which -was. of, immense size, was built entirely of
wood, being merely a temporary, affair, until. the
mew depot constructing for the company can be'
finished. It was reduced to a complete wreak in
the twinkling of an eye, nothing being left of the
structure but a huge mass of fire wood. The moat
singular pelt of the affair was, that no person what
ever received the slightest injury, although there
were a number of persons in the immediate
vicinity, and three firemen within the build
ing. The latter, perceiving their danger in time,
sought refuge beneath the locomotive engines, and
after the " crash of matter" complacently emerged
from the. ruins to congratulate each other. There
were three engines in the building. One of them had
a smokestack snapped off like a pipe-stem, and the
others were more or less battered ; but altogether,
very little damage was done, except to the building
itself. There were a number of iron furnaces within
it, and some of these being overturned, the wrack
took. fire ; - but a section of hose being at hand, the
flames were promptly extinguished. With the as
sistance of a pretty large gang of laborers, firemen,
and others, the ruin was so tar cleared away before
dark as not to interfere with the travel of the road
in the least. The building destroyed extended com
pletely across Hamilton street, thus blocking up that
thoroughfare completely, although an ordinance of
Councils prevent's tlie erection of any building across
any of the public highways. The property owners
in Hamilton street felt considerably aggrieved at
the erection - of the depot, and Will shed few tears
over its untimely fall.
A DROWNED Max FOUL D— The coroner

several days.
The deceased wee a native of Ireland, about thirty
five years, and has red hair and whiskers. He wee
dressed in a brown and black coat, lightpants, black
vest, check shirt, blue undershirt, and white cotton

_ROREN i THE WlND.—During
the prevalence of a "white squall," that occurred
between two and three o'clock yesterday afternoon,
the main branch of one of the largest trees in Inde
pendence square. broke Off close to the main trunk,
and fell with great force to the ground. Two law
'gem, one female, and three or four children, had just
mused over the spot upon Which the branch fell.
The telegraphic wires extending through the square
are fastened to this tree below the place where the
break occurred. They escaped injury.
A 3lissucG VEssEL.---Much uneasiness is
felt in relation to - the schooner R. T. Browning,
Captain Gandy, which cleared from this port, on the
7th of last. month,-with a cargo of about one hun
dred tons of coal, since which time she has not been
heard from. -
LEGAL INTELLIGENCE
United Straw' Circuit. Court—Judge Grier.
Yesterday morning Meyer Strouse,Esq.,'of Potts
ville, appeared on behalf of numerous coal opera
tors in Schuylkill county, and asked that the in
junctions granted on Monday on- theo.pplication of
the New York Wire Railing Company vs. The Seitz.
Mgers,:of Tamaqua, Schuyler, of Pottsville, and L au-;
benstem, of - Minersville might be modified, saying
that the breaking of any coal screens might occa
sion a loss of thousands of dollars. Leonard Myers,
Escr, on behalf of the company, opposed the motion
on the ground that the company Were-ready to make
and repair, all the screens needed.. The court-re
fused the motion.
A. similar injunction to those already granted was
granted against Watson h. Harper, of this city.
In the case of The Flying Dragon, which was a
libel filed for damages occasioned by the loss of the
schooner Mary Deal by reason of the Flying Dragon
colliding with it, the Court entered a decree in favor
of libellant for half the assessed value of the
schooner.
Court of Oyer and Terminer. and Quarter
Sessions--JudgeThompson.
The jury in the ease of Gotleib Reber, before re
ported, charged 'with the larceny of $BBO, the jury
yesterday morning returned a verdict of not guilty.
Robert Morris was convicted of having committed
an assault and battery on one Beach. From the
evidence, it appeared that the defendant claimed him
as a deserter, and, on his refusal to accompany him,
committed, with others, a most brutal assault and
battery upon him. .

[Before Mr. Alderman Bottler.]
Parental Negligence.
The following brief picture of parental negligence
shows in painful eloquence the manner in which
small boys are trained for the penitentiary and the
gallows. A small boy, with matted hair, dirty face
and hands, unlaced boots, out at the toes, a coarse
coffee.bag-looking coat, a pair of pante of looped.
and windowed raggedness, was arraigned at the
Central Station on the charge of stealing brass.cast
ings or journals from the ddpOt of the Philadelphia
and West Chester Railroad Company.
Henry Wood, the superintendent of the road,
testified that sundry brass journals had been stolen
from the dOpCit ; they were found at a shop on Mar
ket street, near -Eighteenth ; they had been sold
there by the accused juvenile at the rate of ten cents
per pound, far below their real value in weight ;their
recovery led to the arrest of the young thief. These
were the principal points in the evidence.
The magistrate called the youngster to him, when
the following dialogue ensued:
" What did you do with the money you obtained
for the brass journals l" said the alderman.
The boy hesitated, held his head down, and finally
replied, "I didn't get much."
Dow. much?" •
"Only twenty.five cents."
" "What did you do with the money?"
-
"I went to the opera."
" Did you pay it all to get in 1"
" Yee, eir."
"Come, come," said the magistrate; "they don't
charge•boys full price."
Yer, sir, they , dill;- I paid a quarter."
"Where did you go taiee the opera 1"
"At Fox's Oasenah
" Sure you paid a quarter'!"
"Yes, air." - 4 7 . 0 „: . •

" When were you home last?"
"On Tuesday , night." -
"Where do you stay at nights when you are not at

"I sleep in the ears on Broad Street."
" When did you wash your handsi"
The boy opould not answer this question ; the tears
started, and ploughing-their way through the dirt on
his cheeks, felrupon his hands, ;which he wiped on
his coat sleeves, thus revealing a_whites skid.

Robbery and Arrest. • •
=II
A ahrewd .hotel ranger; one of the most &IMO
that ever came under the notice of the police, was
arraigned at the Central Station-yesterday after
noon, on the charge of stealing the sum of $4lOO from
Mr. Huffnagle, of New Hope, Busks county. The
accused gave the name of Joseph Wood. It see=
that Mr. Huffnagle arrived in town a day or two
since, and put up at the Bald Bogle Hotel. He had
$660 in bie pocketbook when he went to bed
on Tirarsdny evening. Yesterday morning, some
time after he bad arisen he had occasion to use
some money, and on opening his pocket book, found
to bis utter surprise that he had been robbed. Ho
supposed that hie pocket had been picked'.
Information was left at the Central Station, and
Detectitre Taggart was deputed to work the case up.
Be at once came to the conclusion that it wisisnot an
affair of ordinary pockeapicking. On examining
the key of the door of the room occupied by Mr. Huff - -
nagle, the marks of nippers were discovered. kroom
on the opposite side of the corridor of the hotel WRIF
occupied by the so-called Joseph Wood. Hts room
was examined by the detective, and some money,
found that resembled that which Mr. Huffuagle had
lost. Wood was therefore taken into custody. He
was committed, in default of $1,500, to await se fur
ther hearing.
We are specially requested by Chief Franklin to
ask the, attendance of all proprietors whose hotels
have been robbed recently, to call upon him ist the
,Central Station."
Gold opened somewhat excitedly this morning at 148,
and soon rose to la : fluctuating between the two figures
for the rest of the day,' closing at 148.
There le very little "letup' , - in the stringency of the
money znarget, although 7 - per cent. covers most of the
operations.
In Government securities there is no change. 1881 s are
in demand, and the subscriptions to the five twenties
range from two to three millions a day.
The stock market sees dull under the influence of a
tight money market, and there is very little buoyancy,
although prices ate firm. This more the dogged strength
of holders than the lightness of active speculators that
characterizes the market.

The - New York Evening Post of to-day says: :
Gold opened at 148.74 - , and after touching 140,1, closes at
EEL
The loan market offers few indications of diminished
stringency. Seven per cent. is the current rite, and the
demand is fully equal to the supply. The balance in
the various Sub-Treasuries is beinwrapidly lowered,
and the disbursements, will be heavy-for several days to
come.
The stock market opened dull and closed steady. .flo
yernments are quiet. Currency certificates are some
what bel ter, and are want, d at 99. For gold certificates
no more than 101.1 l is offered this morning. Seven
thirties are scarcely so strong as yesterday.. Border
State bonds are weak; bank shares firm, and railroad
bonds inactive.
A considerable amount of the gold-bearing certificates
have teen exchanged this morning for five• twenties, and
two millions of these certificates were redeemed at the
treasury yesterday. This= new movement will have a
tendency to relieve the loan market, asit will lessen the
absorption of currency, into the treasury, and check the
stringency which is due to this cause.
